1,000-Foot Roll

Lights on at EAA

Don Thun of Topeka, KS

Taken at the 2011 EAA night air show with a Nikon 300 and four-second shutter speed. These make one-of-a-kind photos that would be impossible to duplicate. No adjustments other than slight cropping. A lot of shots weren't that exciting, but a few turned out interesting.

Reflection

Tony Johnson of Indianapolis, IN

1957 Comanche on a ferry flight from northern Michigan, near Lafayette, Indiana. Great sunset going on out of the right side; glanced left and noticed this. Next time, I'll know to wipe that mirror clean before taking off. Cannon SX20is; cropped and resized to send.

Black Rock Desert Camp-Out

Dave Barrett of Reno, NV

The Black Rock Desert, home to the Burning Man Festival. An amazing fly-in, is also a wonderfully beautiful location for solitude and quiet. Photo taken with a Casio EX-S500 as the morning's first direct light came across the playa and the plane.

Take-Off from the Flowers

Only in America

Malcolm Thomson of Colorado Springs, CO

My Thunder Mustang built over six years. I was born in the U.K. but moved to the U.S.A. to pursue the American Dream. (There is no concept of the "British Dream.") After a successful software company, I built Only in America.

Blériot XI "Queen Monoplane"

1954 Cessna 170B Flying Out of Chatham Airport (Ontario, Canada)

George Mock & Paul Harrington of Cottam, ON (Canada)

This is my 1954 Cessna 170B. Leaving the Chatham Airport after a fly-in breakfast, returning home. Picture was taken by George Mock, the official camera man for the EAA 185 at the time. Great photo, George! Thanks.

Cumulus Faces

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

Jon Provencher of Seattle, WA

Photo taken in the parking lot of the Museum of Flight, Seattle, on October 9, 2011, with a Sony DSC-W150. Using GIMP, I edited the saturation and color curve, sharpened, used gaussian blur around the edges, created a vinette, and added the black bars on top and bottom.
